Chapter 1537 - 1535: Someone Is Raising Blood Demon Wolves?!
Ow!
The five Blood Demon Wolves roared, their scarlet eyes fixed on Zhu Qilue and Zhu Ruoling, growling low in their throats and slowly moving around the three people.
There were burn marks on their bodies, exactly what Zhu Qilue had inflicted when he repelled them earlier.
So they were now very cautious, circling the three, baring their teeth, staring at Zhu Qilue, ready to charge forward and tear the opponent to shreds at the slightest mistake.
Blood Demon Wolves are different from ordinary animals.
Ordinary animals, no matter how fierce, do not pursue strategy. They only rush forward blindly, either the opponent dies or they themselves perish.
Blood Demon Wolves are very different, they actually employ strategy, which is simply unbelievable.
When they encounter danger or sense a strong aura from the opponent, they will temporarily halt their attack, circle around to prevent the opponent from escaping, closely observing the opponent’s movements, and pounce without hesitation at any discovered flaw or vulnerability.
That is to say,
they will wait for the right moment and can even detect flaws!
Such actions are hardly those an animal would make, more like a trained assassin!
"Being... operated by someone?!" Lan Yunwei was stunned, his eyes bulging. "What... what does this mean, could it be... could it be that someone is actually raising them? Aren’t they supposed to be wild?!"
Zhu Qilue smiled coldly, a glint of cold light reflecting from the corner of his eyes, not daring to take the Blood Demon Wolves lightly.
"Miss Lan is truly living in an ivory tower, staying too long in Wenyu City, forgetting affairs of the martial world. These Blood Demon Wolves haven’t always been around; they just suddenly appeared in the wilderness one day, like demons escaping from Hell, appearing out of nowhere!"
"Gulp..." Lan Yunwei swallowed a mouthful, her heart racing.
"Therefore, there are rumors circulating that Blood Demon Wolves are pets of demons, placed into the Five Elements Realm to make it a river of blood! Some believe they were nurtured and trained by some lunatic in the Five Elements Realm, then multiplied and grew strong in the realm, finally becoming a lethal weapon!"
"..." Lan Yunwei’s face was pale and bloodless, truly terrified.
She had indeed heard of such rumors before but never took them to heart.
But hearing Zhu Qilue analyze it like this, she felt that it might be true, otherwise, how to explain their sudden appearance in the wilderness.
There’s simply no explanation!
"Then if... if someone is actually raising Blood Demon Wolves, who would it be? And why hasn’t he been captured?"
"If this person were so easy to capture, he would have been caught long ago, wouldn’t still be free today. If caught, the Blood Demon Wolves would have been eliminated and wouldn’t appear on Wenyu City’s territory."
Zhu Qilue explained calmly.
"The speed of Blood Demon Wolves is astonishingly fast, hardly anyone in the Five Elements Realm can keep up. Your brother Lan Zhengqing might be able to, but he’s never bothered with it as if it has nothing to do with him. Gong Wenya might also manage, but he holds a high position and wouldn’t bother with it. As for others, being able to barely withstand the Blood Demon Wolves’ attack is already good enough, tracking them down might be a death sentence!"
"This... this... in the future, I must have Zhengqing clear out these Blood Demon Wolves, return the Five Elements Realm to peace, and show you that my brother isn’t the evil-doing kind of guy."
"Heh." Zhu Qilue smiled meaningfully.
Actually, he hadn’t revealed one thing to Lan Yunwei because he feared it would cause her displeasure and resentment.
Which is.
There are rumors that the person raising and training the Blood Demon Wolves is none other than Lan Zhengqing!
He originally intended to use this to fiercely mock the arrogant and presumptuous Lan Yunwei but thought she was ready to reveal the secret earlier. If he spoiled the relationship now, he feared she wouldn’t be willing to share the secret later.
So he could only hold back the words until after Lan Yunwei disclosed the secret about Blizzard Village and then mock her afterward.
He even eagerly anticipated seeing the panicked and terrified expression on Lan Yunwei’s face.
"Brother! What do we do now?" Zhu Ruoling kept her eyes on the Blood Demon Wolves, inquiring.
The five Blood Demon Wolves had surrounded the three, continually shifting sideways, effectively circling them, their gaze never leaving them.
Just waiting for a flaw to appear.
And Zhu Qilue and Zhu Ruoling defended tightly, giving the Blood Demon Wolves no chance, leading to both sides standing off, neither actively attacking.
Yet, distant Blizzard Village still seemed to emit smoke, though the sounds had vanished. They had no idea what major event transpired there.
If they went too late, everyone might have fled.
Thus, they had to quickly resolve the current predicament, otherwise, upon arrival at Blizzard Village, they would gain nothing.
Zhu Qilue pondered momentarily, then spoke in a deep, husky voice, "Ling’er, when I expose a flaw, those Blood Demon Wolves will certainly pounce, then you use the Leaving Fire Spear Skill to eliminate them. It’s like I’m setting a trap with myself to lure them."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ruoling’s eyes widened. "Brother, what are you doing, why use yourself as bait, I don’t agree!"
"Ling’er, don’t be headstrong, this is the quickest way to defeat the Blood Demon Wolves. Don’t you want to know what happened in Blizzard Village? We must promptly deal with the current troubles and rush over, otherwise, all evidence might be gone!"
"But..."
"There’s no ’but,’ we must act now! Don’t worry, I’ll be fine, I assure you. Now, I’ll count down from three."
"Brother..."
"I trust you! Three... two... one..."
Zhu Qilue’s figure flashed, intentionally leaving a flaw.
Sure enough!
Upon seeing the flaw appear, three of the Blood Demon Wolves leaped into the air, charging like arrows, their speed terrifying, akin to a blood-red lightning bolt!
Lan Yunwei was simply frozen in fright, watching with eyes wide open, speechless.
And before she could react!
Zhu Ruoling beside her had already prepared, albeit her hand trembling slightly, the Leaving Fire Spear Skill still thrust out.
Instantly!
It struck the hearts of the three Blood Demon Wolves.
Ooooo!
Ooooo!
Ooooo!
Three screams, three Blood Demon Wolves fell to the ground, though trained, still mere beasts, unaware of human traps, blindly rushing towards the flaw.
Little did they know.
This flaw was intentionally exposed by Zhu Qilue to lure the Blood Demon Wolves.
In less than a breath.
The three Blood Demon Wolves fell to the ground, into a pool of blood, bodies twitching slightly, soon turning into a mist of blood, vanishing away.
"Well done! Ling’er, your Leaving Fire Spear Skill is getting more and more proficient!" Zhu Qilue shouted joyfully, ready to applaud.
Only to see Zhu Ruoling suddenly rush towards him, the Leaving Fire Spear stabbing directly at his head!
